BYD is currently contemplating joining the FIA Formula One World Championship (F1), although a definitive decision remains pending. The company shows a greater inclination towards purchasing an existing team instead of starting one from the ground up. Despite BYD's remarkable sales achievements in the new energy vehicle sector in 2025, its brand recognition in overseas premium markets still has room for growth. Participating in F1 could offer BYD a platform for broader global brand visibility. Establishing an F1 team from scratch entails significant costs and a lengthy process. The Alpine F1 Team emerges as a potential acquisition candidate, but Renault's CEO has clarified that the team is not up for sale. Furthermore, BYD is also exploring the possibility of entering the World Endurance Championship (WEC). The new regulations set for the 2026 F1 season are in line with BYD's technological strengths, and the company has already showcased its R&D prowess in high-performance vehicles. The President of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) has expressed enthusiasm for the entry of Chinese automakers into F1. BYD possesses the financial resources to shoulder the operational expenses of F1 racing, and this strategic move could aid in elevating its premium brand stature in Western markets.
